Really pleased with the work. Having been let down by 4 other roofing companies it was great to deal with professional and reliable roofers.

Dan came over promptly to assess the job. His quote was very competitive and I was happy for him to go ahead with the work. The work (a complete re-roof using exiting tiles where possible) was carried out through the worst of the February and March weather. I found him and the team to be hard-working, professional and conscientious throughout. I found Dan willing to answer all my queries and he regularly came over to inspect the work. I was very happy with the result & would use them again in the future.

They did a very good job

Dan and his team were great to deal with. Good communication throughout the project. Completed a full refurbishment of our roof; we have a Victorian terrace and we wanted something in keeping - maintaining the period features, enhancing the insulation and we had the lead replaced throughout. Price paid as quoted. No nasty surprises despite a slight overrun. We are delighted with the results. As are our neighbours across the road!! Would happily recommend.

Dan did a great job and was very helpful

Extremely prompt to deliver estimate, very reasonable price, gave excellent advice on the work to be completed. However, it required chasing up to fix a date for the work, and further chasing on the day when contractors were several hours delayed. Still, work was completed quickly and expertly with no unexpected costs and I would recommend their services.

Quick contact and visit to quote. Not the cheapest but seemed most reliable and professional. Came when said, and got the job done. Cost was as per estimate. All in all I'd recommend this business.

Although I only had a quote, they arrived promptly & evaluated the problem quickly & efficiently. A detailed quote arrived in 2 days. Too bad I can't afford it at present. Charles Lucas

Detailed quote provided free of charge even though we offered to pay. Advice and explanations given over the phone were clear and helpful. Work will not be undertaken until post completion so ratings only apply to quote process.

Original email from Ranson Roofing stating the brickwork not being the cause of the leak. We understand your points but as professional contractors asked to identify the source of water ingress to the bay window, we have identified the bay window top (badly fitted), to be the cause. Your son mentioned that the ceiling drips with water. This is not in line with your suspicion of any mortar works to the brickwork. The top of the Dutch gable has been felted so this cannot be the cause either.

The quality of the work was faultless. The workmen overcame problems which were unforseen and worked tirelessly in all weathers. They removed all the rubbish and tidied everything up at the end of the job. I would strongly recommend Daniel and his team to take on any roofing job no matter how challenging (which ours was).

This client was rude and aggressive to myself and my men on-site and broke contract by paying our sub-contractors directly. We left the client with monies in the budget to have works finished by others as we could not move forward with this job. This was agreed. All evidence is in our possession and legal procedures are now in place. Bad client.
As the legal case in this matter was won by my firm 'Ranson Roof & Build', I will be requesting all posts to be retracted.

Based on my experience of the man Daniel Ranson of Ranson Roofing & Building. I would not recommend any one to so much as consider using him for any work big or small. Daniel Ranson has not completed the works and is now not responding to any telephone calls or emails. Leaving us with an incomplete extension

A copy of the 'General form of judgement or order' issued to ourselves by the court can be made available for any prospective client to view. This dismissal cleared our firm completely.

We had quotes from 5 roofers as it was a full victorian semi roof we needed re-roofing. Ranson gave the best and most detailed quote, sent samples of materials. I took up the references which were very very good. Daniel Ranson answered all queries in detail. They turned up at 8ish each morning The job was completed on time and Daniel actually saved us money by offering alternative solutions once on the job. Please ensure you at least get a quote from Ranson, superb job. I strongly recommend them.

A representative of Ranson Roofing called today and carried out some remedial work to hopefully cue the problem - a good down pour with a south westerly wind will be the test! Thank you.

I was informed by Ranson Roofing that the reason for my bedroom bay window leaking rain water was due to the previous company. Last May they replaced the bay roof but just weeks later it began to leak again. I have contacted them twice to get them to put it right and cure the leak (as guaranteed) but I have still not heard back from them (now August). £439 wasted as I believe there was nothing wrong with the original roof.
HOMEOWNER, 23/08/2015 16:24
The cause of the original leak formed part of our opinion, a non-thermal expanding main roof membrane and cement pointing rather than traditional lime, trapping moisture in the front facade of the house. However, on discussion, this was not deemed to be required as per instruction by client. Our guarantee in the work carried out stands.
HOMEOWNER, 23/08/2015 16:47
I am very happy with the work carried out by Ranson Roofing and my current water ingress problem is to do with an entirely unrelated matter.
HOMEOWNER, 18/01/2016 20:48
After a delayed start due to inclement weather, the two people who completed the job were polite, efficient and courteous and worked, quickly and quietly without any need for disruption to the household. The work carried out looks good and professional and hopefully will have cured the long standing leak during periods of heavy rain. A good job well done!
HOMEOWNER, 07/03/2015 19:28
Shortly after your last visit and running sealant around the window to roof joint we were informed by our Son that the leak had returned with the return of the bad weather. We have now moved back to the UK and the leek is much worse. My original problem remains.
